Re: What made you decide on the Valvoline Mercon V?
But it's not the fluid recom. for our car...
I know it's a synthetic mineral based fluid. Do not know what Mer. V is.
This works differently then engine oil. And yes, the Audi fluid is like $15.00 qt.
Just check to make sure this fluid is fine. I bet if you have a problem with your tranny and they see this fluid in there the may not cover...
Try to find that this meets or exceeds the fluid Audi installs.

Re: ZF specifies that only the "ESSO LT 71141" fluid is suitable for use in the 5HP19/FLA transmiss
First of all the car is out of warranty. Also, if you believe everything Audi says is good for your car is that's your option. Just like they said to change engine oil once a year or 10K and not have to use synthetic on the 1.8T. Now they have problems with the engines.
